The Colorado Springs Conservatory relies on generous contributions from its alumni, parents, friends, foundations, and corporations to support its dynamic mission of providing the highest level of afterschool training in the performing arts and related areas. There are a variety of ways to support the conservatory's broad range of educational and performance activities and your gift will help maintain The Conservatory as a center of artistic distinction.
The Colorado Springs Conservatory’s Annual Fund program, " Take Note" supports and maintains those resources at the core of CSC: its talented students, distinguished faculty, and important facilities. Gifts to The Conservatorys Annual Fund help bridge the gap between tuition revenue and operating expenses, and helps CSC provide outstanding training for students of all ages.
Other Giving Opportunities
Many of CSC's friends and alumni have established named funds, either annual or temporary funds, to support of a wide variety of programs and initiatives. Funding priorities have included student scholarships, programming acquisitions, capital improvements, and instrument purchases. Scholarship funds have been of particular interest, allowing CSC to award nearly $50,000 in named scholarships to its students every year.If you are interested in making a gift to one of CSC named scholarships or other restricted funds, or would like to discuss establishing a new fund, please contact CSC at (719) 577-4556
